DEN vs POR Dream11 Match Prediction

DEN vs POR Dream11: Denver Nuggets will be looking to snap their three-game losing run when they host Portland Trail Blazers at Pepsi Center, in Denver, on Friday morning.

Form and recent results:

Nuggets’ current run of three straight defeats is the worst streak for them this season. But all those three defeats came on a four-game road trip which started on a winning note with a one-sided 92-129 win over New York Knicks. Still, the Nuggets remain one of the true force in the West and are very hard to get over in home matches. They are 14-8 on the season, and 8-3 in home games this season.

Portland Trail Blazers snapped their two-game skid with a fine 115-87 win over New York Knicks. Damian Lillard topped the scoring charts with a game-high 31 points, while Hassan Whiteside ended with a double-double 17 points and 15 rebounds.

Fantasy Basketball – Head-to-head:
